Recently I was driving back from LA across the Arizona desert and got up to 115 or so. She had plenty more, but I was quickly running out of room ahead of me and I chickened out at passing anyone at that speed. It was fun though, but I mostly get my speed fix by showing "tuned out" Civics what's up when they think they're all that.

My 03 GS 300 100mph was the fastest I have taken her.
My 96 Mustang Cobra 150 mph was the fastest dumbest **** I ever done.

It was around 130 or so. This was on a track at the Lexus Performance Driving school.

Oh you meant MY GS?!?

Nevermind. Nothing to see here....

I got her up 125 and it felt good car wise but I can honestly say I won't be in that range too often in my life. It was a rush but I have too much to lose to be playing around at the speed. Be careful guys.

120 with no one around on the highway. But I get scared of getting reckless driving/speeding tickets and having my insurance go through the roof or loose my license. Not worth it but I probably hit about 110 once a month for no reason at all except the rush!!!!!!

About 140-145 is the fastest I go. Feels like I could go faster but just dont do it. I do this about once a month it seems. When I go up to my families house there is a huge 3 mile straight way where there is no way cops can sit and also big open flat land so no deer to worry about darting infront of you as well.... I go 100 a lot but try to keep it under that. Other wise you go straight to jail in this area if you are over 100.

In my 99 Cobra lowered with headers and exhaust and gears and port polish and....... let us just say 155-160. Now that was SCARY and never again!!!

just check out my avatar, it tells the story


i live in the triple digit zone always , thats why i setup susp to overperform and brakes to stop on the dime and make change








alsilverbullet and i back in the day(boy those were the days) got into a real race from ft lauderdale to west palm once and we really went at it we both topped out at around 148 on the turnpike , although i have been faster , closer to 170+ in other cars
